Zhou Yulin walked in front of Wu Nan. He didn't even look at Fang Mei and Li Rui, as if his eyes had automatically filtered out these two insignificant people. He smiled slightly and said, "Mayor, I'm really sorry for today. Because of this sudden emergency meeting, your people were driven out of the conference center. But I can't do anything about it. I wanted to be considerate of you and let your people stay inside to continue their training, but the provincial government didn't agree and insisted on holding this emergency video conference. Not only did it delay your matters, but it also delayed my matters. It made me feel very helpless, but I couldn't resist. Sigh, why don't I say that people in the officialdom have no choice? Please forgive me. "
He said he was sorry, but his words didn't sound like an apology at all. Instead, he brought up the previous incident again, as if he was deliberately mocking Wu Nan. Li Rui saw this and was more and more certain that what he and Lu Liangang did today was directed at Wu Nan. And the so-called emergency meeting was simply made up by them.
Wu Nan glanced at Li Rui and said coldly, "If there was really this emergency meeting, I would forgive it. But if there was no meeting at all, and it was just some people who made trouble out of nothing, then no matter how good my tolerance is, I can't forgive it. At that time, we will have to talk about it properly."
Zhou Yulin's smile froze on his face. He said, "Mayor, what do you mean?"
Lu Liangang hurriedly pointed at Li Rui and said, "Mayor Zhou, this … this is the poverty alleviation cadre that Mayor Wu invited from Qingyang City. He just said that our emergency meeting didn't exist. This is simply a malicious rumor. I think …"
Wu Nan interrupted coldly, "He wasn't talking nonsense. He just called the provincial government office to ask."
Zhou Yulin nodded. His expression was a little serious. He turned to look at Li Rui and sized him up carefully.
Lu Liangang said to Wu Nan angrily, "Mayor, don't be fooled by him. Just because he said that he called the provincial government's office, did he really call the provincial government's office? God knows who he called, and then he turned around and spouted a bunch of nonsense. Do you think we can lie about something like this? " Then, he walked to Zhou Yulin's side and looked at Li Rui with disdain. "Mayor Zhou, I asked him just now. I said, if you want me to believe you, you can tell me which department or person you called. As long as you can tell me, I will believe you. But he couldn't tell me. Humph, of course he couldn't tell me, because he is lying and deceiving people. He wants to use this opportunity to achieve his unspeakable evil purpose."
When Li Rui heard this, he chuckled and said, "Secretary-general Roux, don't be so agitated. Don't accuse me. It's not that I couldn't say it, but before I could say it, Mayor Zhou arrived."
Lu Liangang retorted, "So you're saying that you can say it now? Well, now, in front of the Mayor and Mayor Zhou, you can say it. Tell me the name of the person you called. It doesn't matter whether he has a number in the provincial government's office or not. Even if he is just a small figure, as long as you tell me which department he is in, I'll take it that you didn't lie. "
Zhou Yulin narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Rui. "You'd better say it, or we'll have to talk about it. Humph, are you trying to drive a wedge between the Mayor and me?"
When Wu Nan heard this, he was a little nervous. Although Li Rui looked calm and confident, he was still worried that he couldn't say it. If he couldn't say it, even if he could protect him, he would be greatly embarrassed in front of Zhou Yulin today.
Li Rui looked at Lu Liangang with a smile and said, "If I say that person's name, it won't be enough to prove that I didn't lie. We still have to find out who lied in this matter."
Lu Liangang looked at Zhou Yulin nervously. When he saw that Zhou Yulin was relaxed, he said, "Say that person's name first. After you say it, we'll judge the credibility of his words based on that person's status."
Zhou Yulin was very satisfied with the quick-witted response of his number one general and nodded approvingly.
Li Rui said, "Alright, then I'll tell you his name first before we talk about anything else. The person I called just now is Yu Hongwei, the director of the First Department of the Secretary of the Provincial Government's Office. I think Secretary-general Roux and Mayor Zhou should be familiar with his name, right? I don't know how trustworthy his words can be. "
When Zhou Yulin and Lu Liangang heard this name, they were stunned. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck their heads, causing their minds to scatter.
Even Wu Nan opened his mouth in surprise when he heard Yu Hongwei's name. He looked at Li Rui in disbelief.
Only the female secretary, Fang Mei, had never heard of Yu Hongwei's name before. Therefore, she didn't have any strange expression after hearing it. Instead, she was curious about the stunned expressions of Zhou Yulin and Lu Liangang. However, she was also very smart to be chosen as a secretary by Wu Nan. She quickly remembered that Li Rui had introduced Yu Hongwei's identity as the director of the First Department of the Secretary of the Provincial Government's Office. Her heart skipped a beat. Wasn't the director of the First Department of the Secretary of the Provincial Government's Office serving the provincial government? Wasn't Yu Hongwei, the director of the department, the secretary of the provincial government? Thinking of this, she was so shocked that she almost screamed. She looked at Li Rui in disbelief. She was puzzled. How did he know such a big shot like Yu Hongwei?
Zhou Yulin was shocked for a while before he came back to his senses. He forced a smile and said to Li Rui, "Young … young man, can we not joke like this? You … Haha … How could you know Director Yu Hongwei? Even I … even I have only heard of his name and have never seen him before. You … how could you possibly know him? "
After hearing his words, Lu Liangang felt that he had been fooled by Li Rui. He said with red eyes, "You really don't even blink when you lie. Just now, you lied to me that you were calling the Provincial Government's Office. Now, you're even worse. You dare to use Director Yu to scare and deceive us. Do you have any morals? Do you still have any respect for your leaders? You … "
As he said this, his mouth was suddenly stuck. It was as if someone had stuck a piece of plaster on his mouth. He couldn't say another word. His eyes were wide open. He looked at the phone that Li Rui handed to him in disbelief.
On the screen of the phone, Yu Hongwei's name, phone number, and the call record between him and Li Rui were clearly displayed. There was no way to deny it.
Zhou Yulin also looked at it. After reading it, he laughed and said, "What can this prove? I can also change a friend's name to Director Yu's name in my own phone and say that it is Director Yu's phone number. Who can tell the truth? Young man, I've seen this trick many times. You'll only make me more disappointed in you. "
Li Rui smiled faintly and said, "I already guessed that you wouldn't believe me. But it doesn't matter. I'll ask Yu Hongwei to call me from the office's landline. You should be familiar with the number of the Provincial Government's Office. If the Provincial Government's Office calls later, you won't have anything to say, right?"
When Zhou Yulin heard this, he started to get nervous. Even if he didn't want to believe that Li Rui knew Yu Hongwei, he had already observed that Li Rui was still as calm as before. This was enough to prove that he knew Yu Hongwei and had a close relationship with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have casually called Yu Hongwei, the Provincial Government's First Secretary, and he wouldn't have asked Yu Hongwei to call him from the landline. Thinking about this, he was shocked. This insignificant person that Wu Nan found from Qingyang City actually knew the Provincial Government's First Secretary? And he was willing to help Wu Nan fight against him and Lu Liangang. His trick was about to be exposed. How could he continue to play this game?
He was shocked and doubtful, but Lu Liangang didn't think so much. He even challenged Li Rui, "Okay, come on. I want to see if you can order Director Yu around?! You even asked him to call you from the landline. Humph, you're too arrogant. You don't even know how to lie … "
Li Rui ignored this lackey and directly targeted his owner, Zhou Yulin. With a cold and serious face, he said, "Mayor Zhou, if I can prove that I called Yu Hongwei just now to ask about it, and that the words' the Provincial Government's Office didn't organize any emergency teleconference today 'were also said by him, then how trustworthy do you think this matter is? Or rather, how trustworthy do you think Yu Hongwei's words are? "
Zhou Yulin saw that Li Rui was starting to challenge him and became more and more frightened. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Of course, Director Yu's words … of course, we don't have to doubt them …"
Li Rui stepped forward and asked, "Okay, if he didn't lie, then who was the one who lied about the emergency teleconference?"
Zhou Yulin was a little flustered. He smiled awkwardly and then stopped smiling. He glanced at Lu Liangang and said, "Uh, it might not be that someone lied. Maybe when the notice was sent to the city, there was a difference in the information between the two parties, which led to this situation. It was unintentional and not targeted at anyone …"
Lu Liangang glared at Li Rui fiercely and interrupted, "Stop talking nonsense now. You should ask Director Yu to call you from the landline first! You can't prove that you know Director Yu, so what's the point of saying all this nonsense now? "
